Hello to everyone

I have just stumbled across this forum whilst looking for sides for our awning, didn't have any luck with that but I found you, and I'm glad I did!
My partner and I are owners of a 2007 Sigma EK and live in the south east of England. We purchased it in 2010 with great intentions of travelling all over the country and Europe with our youngest daughter. Unfortunately, after a few trips away she decided she hated it and didn't want to be part of it. The following year we decided to travel around South East Asia for 5 months. On our return the problem remained of her not wanting to come away in the camper with us and we spent more time in it going for services, mot's etc than actually using it for any pleasure. At this point we were considering selling up because we couldn't see how it was going to work with a moody teenager in tow. Fortunately we have 2 older children both of whom said they were willing to look after the youngest if we wanted to go away. So we are back on track with our intentions and looking forward to getting away as much as possible.

Looking forward to being part of the A/S community

Hi there,

Welcome from a dull but dry Skegness! beachball

It would appear that you have discovered the First Rule of Parenthood which is "Move a long way away from them as soon as you can!" up!

This greatly improves child/parent relationships and has the added benefit that when they produce their own offspring they can't start making the dreaded statement "...... so we thought we would drop (insert relevant name) off with you for a few days while we ........" tap_fingers
